So you'll know something:
1. Equids thrive in winter climates in part bec their feet are shovels, good for digging thru snow/ice for grasses/water. (Many modern cattle, w/ tender noses & split hooves, will stand on four inches of snow and starve.)
2. Horse images dominate prehistoric cave walls.

Spiritual companion to Sheath Doodles, here's some HORSE DONGS YEAH. Brainworm here is anthro Equids often being half-dropped when relaxed or similar, and only really being fully retracted when physically active. Experiencing that continual rise and fall, y'know? :3

Akkadian/Sumerians again. This time some "battle carts" pulled by 4 equids. Nice models but requiring a deeper base that I'd normally base chariots types on, 50mm not 40mm but means there is no annoying overhang at the rear.
15/18mm 3d prints by Uppsala Miniatures rescaled from 28mm.

@kenno-arkkan.bsky.social Hey Kenno, I hope you're doing well today! I just wanted to say that your design of Mary has been a big influence in how I started drawing anthro horses/equids, thank you! 😁💛

Hello blue sky! 🩵
At the start of this year I submitted my dissertation that focussed on equids and the men who cared for them in WW1.
In my research I discovered these photos, a pay book, and lots of spiders stuffed away in my Grandmas cupboard.
The two images were taken in Boulogne, 1917.

You know who’s a charming beast? A chalicothere! The fossil mammals were sloth horses, related to equids, rhinos, and friends, but with claws at the end of their feet instead of hooves. This particular form is Moropus, a chalicothere that wandered North America between 20 and 13 million years ago. 🧪

And this also requires that we look across the ocean to a similar grassland biome to wonder, if bison outcompeted horses, why does the African savannah have ruminants and equids in large numbers?

Hi, this is a femur & appears to me to be bovine, but sadly the pics don't quite do it justice. Equids have a so-called 'third trochanter', a very characteristic muscle attachment spur on the lateral side, below the femoral head. Can't see that here tho that part of the bone's not clearly in view.

Global Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma in Equids

Thank you.
As a forever student captured by the Pleistocene co-evolution of equids & hominins, I appreciate you and the real workers doing the actual research so I can read about it.

Carolyn’s main focus is on equids, and her work explores the social, cultural, and economic role of equines as a marker of cultural identity and cross-cultural interaction.

"A donkey-ass hybrid from Bronze Age Mesopotamia is the earliest known example of a hybrid animal bred by people. The bones of the horse-like creatures date back 4,500 years and put to bed decades of dispute surrounding the ancient equids' identity."

Ain Boucherit is interesting due to the diversity of equids, the relatives of horses, zebras and donkeys. On the left we have the extant genus Equus with E. tabeti, but on the right we have the primitive three-toed equid Hipparion libycum.
